Competent Experts,

And the name announced in the GLOBE
of the one whom the committee decides
to be entitled to stplace among all the
competitors. To more clearly bring out
the individuality or peculiar talent of
each artist it has been deemed best to
have the sketches after the cartoon plan
humorous, satirical or absurd-illus-
trative, for instance, of familiar phrases
and expressions. Let the competitors
strive, after their own ideas, to carry
out an exaggerated meaning of such
phrases as: ''Strike While the Iron is
Hot, Accidents viii Happen in the
Best Families" "a Miss is as Good as
a Mile" ''What Are the Wild Waves
Saying, " Don't Cross Bridge Until
You Come to It.''

emit outlook the recent rains are having
very beneficial effect upon all late
crops. There were upwards of twenty
five varieties of apples. Among the
best were the BelldOWer, Jonathan,
Ben Davis, Janet, Roman Stem, VIII
son TWig, with several varieties of
pears. A selection of twenty-five va
rieties was made from the display by
Mr.. Randolph to put on exhibition at
Bismarck Fair, which commences on
September 4. Those making the dis
play of fruit were Messrs. Simpson.
Doyle, Hicox, NeWiin and Randolph,
The display OF flowers made by Mr..
Milliken was remarkably fine, and were
well worth trip to the grove them
selves for those who admire the beau
tiful of nature. The foliage plants
were beautiful, as well as some very
fine cut flowers. After dinner the
time was spent in pleasant converse
ton and comment on the fruit, from
which much information is derived of
one another. With the keg of cider
and other pleasant surroundings socia-
bility was the order of the hour, and
all felt glad they had come. There
was talk of another meeting which
will probably be held in EmpOria. AS
the season is growing late there
can be very fine display of winter APP
pies made in four or six weeks, with
an effort on the part of horticulturalists.
At some future time the matter Will be
considered further and the time APP
pointed for the meeting. Parties hav-
/ ing fine samples of fruit and nice flow
ers, we may be able to make show
that will be credit to the county and

cerned. HORT.

AN American inventor now residing
in the City of Mexico, announces that
he has discovered means, by the en-
ployment of a new and unsuspected
force, the nature of which enables him
to elevate high in the air the largest
ships and to transport them from ocean
to ocean over any intervening tract of
land, making ship railway useless.
The new invention is probably a sort
of Keely motor affair, and after its au-
thor or discoverer has bamboozled
Mexican capitalists into investing large
amounts of money in it, he will doubt
less return to the United States in pos
session of fortune, revel in luxury the
remainder of his days, and leave his
dupes to mourn the disappointment of
their hopes and the eternal loss of their
cash

BOSTON GLOBE: The world is small
and round. Every body says so. Yet
how many people who repeat this re
mark ever heard Of a city named Aitchi?
Precious few, we imagine. Neverthe-
less Aitchi is as big a city as New
York. 1t is estimated by a writer in
the Pail Mall Gazette that Aitchi con-
tains 1882 $50 people. Then how many
BOstonians ever dreamed of the exist
ence of Chang-choofoo, Sian or Tscaant-
chan-fu? Everyone OF these three cities
is bigger than Philadelphia. Each of
them has a million inhabitants. Then
there are besides Hang-Tcheon,
Sartama, TsinTchOo and Woo
Chang. Oshkosh is Oftener
heard of among the people
of christendom than all these four cities
t0gether. Still any one of them con-
tains more people than a Chicagoan
ever claimed for his town, even when
in the presence of a st. Louisian.- Al
though it is round beyond doubt, it is
a pretty big world after all. Another
sigular fact brought out in the table
from which the foregoing figures are
quoted. is that America, although dis
covered only 400 years ago, has five
cities of more than SOC, 900 inhabitants.
a number greater than any other coun-
try except Asia.
